10 blocks of poetic text, entering the frame one following the other, together they create a kind of a reminiscent canon, representing a specific realization position in the artist's internal life. This realisation connects and communicates with a collective and universal subconscious, alluding to a new viewpoint or a focal point to the way we perceive the self and all that is intimate and related to it.
The poetry was written in a relatively short period of time, where each piece of text opened the possibility for the next one to emerge. Block after block they become one long connected chain of one possible perspective.
The paintings:
Those are an investigation in tracing the coordinates of the spoken word, the written word, and the internal vision that follows them.It is an attempt to find a “Holographic” image that expresses the sound and energy of a spoken word. The written word always takes back to the spoken word, because sound is the primary stage of language, therefore sound or music will always come first. We very often eliminate the sound from the written character, and so we lose the connection to our internal sound world.As a practicing singer/musician I dealt with precisely this bond - the written word and the sound, on all of its relationship variations. Then, after I stopped singing I often felt like I was removed from this internal sound world, and started to imagine how the written word would sound if it had its own voice. Drawing became a way of sounding out a language, through marks and colours, While poetry has always been the wedding of sound and language.
